Insten Transparent Hard Case Cover Compatible with Nintendo DS Lite NDSL , Replacement Protective NDS Lite Crystal Clear ICE Case

The case is made of a fairly thick plastic that coats the outer layer of your DS Lite; however, I prefer the silicone gel covers, which are only available for 3DS models. My only criticism of this case is that when you open and close the clamshell lid, it makes loud "creeks" and "pops." However, the noise is only surface-level, and it has no effect on your system.

I don't believe you can, but there are low-cost screen protectors available; the screen protector on my game system was not to my liking. It changed the way it acted while playing.

If you open the case to a certain extent, the Nintendo DS Lite can be accessed. We're sorry, but we don't know if it still applies if the hinge itself is cracked.

Thank you for your inquiry. That would be highly dependent on the extent of the damage to your hinge. If you're wondering whether or not this case will keep the pieces together, the answer is almost certainly yes. That, too, would be contingent on the extent of your NDS Lite's damage.
